Since the abandonment of the Canal, Bowds lane has been constructed between locks one and two running across the tail of Lock 2. Although a solution to this problem has not been finalised, it is possible that a lift bridge could be the solution.
Lock 2 (Progress specific to Lock 2 can be found here)
During a recent working weekend (December 2005) saw some significant work take place within the body of lock 2.
A number of well established trees were removed from the lock invert and supporting banks. The underlying structure of this lock has been altered considerably following the building of Boyds Lane.
Much of the structure can still be seen but it is possible that the lock may need to be moved a little more towards the pound between lock 2 and 3. (The pound can still be seen in this picture immediately behind the back wall of the lock)
Until this repositioning has been agreed and the solution to the road cutting through the lock is agreed, much of the work is protection and maintenance rather than full restoration.
